1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:02,05
Lol.

2
00:00:23,78 --> 00:00:31,20
In the world of a young boy's mind sometimes
fact becomes fancy pants leave Frank.

3
00:00:31,22 --> 00:00:36,79
And even the wisest may not distinguish
one concept from another such as

4
00:00:36,79 --> 00:00:42,58
but the last mile of Mickey Miller's almost
five who wants to be a part of a world

5
00:00:42,58 --> 00:00:55,76
that is not yet here.

6
00:00:58,96 --> 00:01:04,83
There's your brother same thing
every morning. Like in South.

7
00:01:05,30 --> 00:01:12,10
He ever grow up. You know.

8
00:01:13,15 --> 00:01:19,81
It's about the right. But he can't really
go to school like me and stayed out.

9
00:01:19,86 --> 00:01:45,92
Mr Magill pale face making.

10
00:01:52,45 --> 00:01:53,07
Not today too.

11
00:02:49,79 --> 00:02:56,06
This is Bill Marshall married has two small
boys of his dog but when someone asks.

12
00:02:56,10 --> 00:02:57,94
He says he has fifty six children.

13
00:02:59,21 --> 00:03:03,03
That's how many ride in a bus and
it's quite a responsibility.

14
00:03:03,85 --> 00:03:05,11
Bill enjoys children.

15
00:03:05,57 --> 00:03:11,86
Kids like Mickey imaginative ready
to learn always eager to explore

16
00:03:13,16 --> 00:03:17,19
he considered Mickey something special
a sort of personal challenge.

17
00:03:18,48 --> 00:03:19,41
Mickey was at war.

18
00:03:28,05 --> 00:03:33,72
Perhaps in time. Bill Maher soul in chief.
Mickey would powwow and make peace.

19
00:03:35,43 --> 00:03:39,04
As for now. Bill's job was more important.

20
00:03:39,06 --> 00:03:43,46
All of the children that are in
his care are pretty special.

21
00:03:43,48 --> 00:03:47,85
Kind of special cargo
for special delivery.

22
00:05:04,23 --> 00:05:05,46
Mickey was still at war.

23
00:05:06,75 --> 00:05:11,32
It was up to Bill patience was his weapon.

24
00:05:11,33 --> 00:05:18,08
Springtime now the rails of summer would
soon be here to generate a temporary truce

25
00:05:18,08 --> 00:05:23,18
until the next school year. Everyone
less and less a little older.

26
00:05:30,47 --> 00:05:31,29
Another autumn

27
00:05:32,72 --> 00:05:39,25
and for Mickey Miller age more than five
the beginning of a great adventure his

28
00:05:39,26 --> 00:05:40,33
first day of school.

29
00:05:48,70 --> 00:05:48,96
He said.

30
00:05:51,11 --> 00:05:58,02
Come on

31
00:05:58,03 --> 00:05:59,20
make you ride warily.

32
00:06:13,69 --> 00:06:18,07
To Bill Marsh all there is a
feeling in the air different on

33
00:06:18,07 --> 00:06:20,93
that first autumn school day.

34
00:06:20,95 --> 00:06:27,95
Everything seems like a challenge new
worthwhile the children dressed up eager

35
00:06:27,95 --> 00:06:33,14
and dissipating all except
chief Nicky Miller.

36
00:06:34,33 --> 00:06:35,76
For as far as Bill Marshall

37
00:06:35,76 --> 00:06:45,55
and the bus were concerned chief
Mickey was still on the warpath.

38
00:06:47,85 --> 00:06:53,17
That's a wise man who can help distinguish
fact from fantasy fancy from fact

39
00:06:53,17 --> 00:06:57,52
says he'd say

40
00:07:02,76 --> 00:07:09,50
it's.

41
00:07:10,62 --> 00:07:14,86
So we're ready. It's a
little early for the big.

42
00:07:16,50 --> 00:07:18,28
Man said to myself.

43
00:07:18,89 --> 00:07:24,47
Nicky don't behave it'll be the last well
no not kids we want to pry the big G.

44
00:07:24,47 --> 00:07:27,25
For something so very important.
He gets we have an emergency.

45
00:07:29,83 --> 00:07:33,71
It's for you.

46
00:07:33,72 --> 00:07:36,36
Open it up making its

47
00:07:52,63 --> 00:07:52,93
hundred

48
00:07:52,93 --> 00:07:59,91
six.

49
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:00,18
And

50
00:08:00,18 --> 00:08:16,73
so

51
00:08:16,73 --> 00:08:16,88
the

52
00:08:19,33 --> 00:08:31,30
early.

53
00:08:32,11 --> 00:08:35,52
Early. He says no go to myself.

54
00:08:35,83 --> 00:08:36,93
Fine let's go

55
00:08:36,93 --> 00:08:55,90
and see exactly zero.

56
00:08:57,52 --> 00:09:00,83
Lots of questions in Mickey's mind.

57
00:09:00,84 --> 00:09:04,81
What was this all about why
didn't mother wake him so early.

58
00:09:06,05 --> 00:09:19,10
And what about school where
was Mr Marshall taking them.

59
00:09:27,79 --> 00:09:30,98
With the cooperation of Mrs
Miller and Mickey's own trial

60
00:09:30,98 --> 00:09:32,25
and acceptance of the gift.

61
00:09:32,33 --> 00:09:37,99
Bill's opportunity had come he had a chance
to build on making a respect for the

62
00:09:37,99 --> 00:09:38,40
school bus

63
00:09:38,40 --> 00:09:49,13
and its driver.

64
00:10:03,37 --> 00:10:08,39
Morning Mr Mills grammar morning fits my
Aboriginal little spongy I suppose if I

65
00:10:08,39 --> 00:10:13,74
make out a slip ons you can add the mechanic
take a look at it today Jim take care

66
00:10:13,74 --> 00:10:16,67
of it immediately before
you go out on your own.

67
00:10:16,68 --> 00:10:17,99
When you for any Sat

68
00:10:44,03 --> 00:10:46,83
morning Bell who's a boy morning John.

69
00:10:46,92 --> 00:10:50,23
That's cheap making the boys tell
you about this is sister Millie.

70
00:10:50,63 --> 00:11:00,33
Hello Millie come you
tell me how to make a.

71
00:11:03,87 --> 00:11:09,72
Say pouting. Mickey look up here
for a minute this is Mr newcomer.

72
00:11:09,84 --> 00:11:13,82
He's a fellow make sure the bus is that
your house every morning I make it.

73
00:11:15,76 --> 00:11:19,71
How come you are making
us go and check our bus.

74
00:11:21,31 --> 00:11:26,70
Perhaps Mickey absorbs ideas faster than
he makes friends he seem to enjoy being

75
00:11:26,70 --> 00:11:33,13
around buses the responsibility for the
safe maintenance of a school bus is not

76
00:11:33,13 --> 00:11:37,06
only in the hands of a man like
John newcomer the bus. Supervisor.

77
00:11:38,20 --> 00:11:40,12
But with the men who drive them as well.

78
00:11:41,34 --> 00:11:42,32
Every school morning

79
00:11:42,32 --> 00:11:48,30
and for special occasion each bus is given
a thorough safety inspection by the

80
00:11:48,30 --> 00:11:54,78
driver him self important checks must be
made before any special deliveries can be

81
00:11:54,78 --> 00:11:59,45
made his first check radiator
water level. Water OK.

82
00:12:00,00 --> 00:12:06,37
Check Engine oil level while
OK no leaks under the bus

83
00:12:09,09 --> 00:12:15,90
tires in a wheel lives are
they OK inspection time

84
00:12:15,90 --> 00:12:20,92
for emergency equipment.

85
00:12:23,56 --> 00:12:24,69
Check running lights

86
00:12:30,83 --> 00:12:32,35
clean and check all life.

87
00:12:37,34 --> 00:12:38,04
Turn on the engine

88
00:12:38,04 --> 00:12:40,45
and check your dashboard
gauges while it's warming up

89
00:12:47,80 --> 00:12:50,74
when your wipers of course
and whether the heater

90
00:12:50,74 --> 00:12:55,56
and of roster wise your
attention to steering is OK

91
00:12:56,62 --> 00:12:56,88
or new

92
00:12:58,69 --> 00:13:05,64
and remember the all important brake
everything checks out OK so let's

93
00:13:05,64 --> 00:13:06,96
go make you can ride shotgun.

94
00:13:17,89 --> 00:13:22,11
This was Bill's plan build in Mickey
our respect for the school bus

95
00:13:22,11 --> 00:13:26,77
and its driver Mickey could
understand all right.

96
00:13:27,87 --> 00:13:34,76
After all he yells more than five minutes
by forgot I want to make it here

97
00:13:34,76 --> 00:13:37,68
to safety by going to back door when
it's over for your but it's late.

98
00:13:37,79 --> 00:13:38,36
OK

99
00:13:48,12 --> 00:13:51,84
Is there anything myself.
That's fine. MILLIE. Thanks.

100
00:14:00,00 --> 00:14:05,53
Perhaps Maciel learn the importance
of Mr Marshall's job to carry all his

101
00:14:05,53 --> 00:14:11,78
passengers special delivery safely to
school then to maybe he'll realize

102
00:14:11,78 --> 00:14:16,36
that a school bus driver with all
his responsibilities has to be good

103
00:14:17,10 --> 00:14:21,47
and very very careful careful
to signal when turning

104
00:14:22,24 --> 00:14:29,04
and to keep within the
proper traffic lane.

105
00:14:31,26 --> 00:14:44,38
Careful to use all the safety
devices available to him.

106
00:14:47,05 --> 00:14:52,50
All railroad crossings should be approached
with extreme caution speeding framed

107
00:14:52,50 --> 00:14:53,76
weather conditions

108
00:14:53,76 --> 00:15:00,68
or the terrain itself all freeze up what
ten children just a patrol boy used

109
00:15:00,68 --> 00:15:03,26
as a Road Runner and assist
the driver with his eyes

110
00:15:03,26 --> 00:15:20,61
and his ears.

111
00:15:20,63 --> 00:15:21,38
Everything OK.

112
00:15:30,67 --> 00:15:36,48
Safety conscious bus drivers never depend
on mechanical signals only hear a road

113
00:15:36,48 --> 00:15:40,96
runner along with a mobile paid sound
system gives them the greatest possible

114
00:15:40,96 --> 00:15:59,35
degree of safety.

115
00:16:01,91 --> 00:16:06,27
Careful to watch for unusual
or hazardous road conditions.

116
00:16:06,29 --> 00:16:10,33
No talk between driver and
passengers on a moving bus.

117
00:16:10,35 --> 00:16:23,93
As alertness is the key to safe driving.

118
00:16:30,35 --> 00:16:37,05
Careful not to stop at times stopping on
a curve could be very dangerous both for

119
00:16:37,05 --> 00:16:43,07
on coming traffic as well as the children
waiting for the bus at a safe distance

120
00:16:43,07 --> 00:16:48,38
before an intended stop Bill warns traffic
by switching on the specially designed

121
00:16:48,38 --> 00:16:51,24
blinker light.

122
00:16:51,25 --> 00:16:55,27
Remember it is unlawful to pass a
school bus when loading or unloading

123
00:16:56,90 --> 00:17:01,55
and traffic must stop at a reasonable
distance from the bus to permit a safe access

124
00:17:01,55 --> 00:17:02,31
to it.

125
00:17:04,59 --> 00:17:09,24
The driver of a school bus must stop at
a safe place convenient to the greatest

126
00:17:09,24 --> 00:17:11,05
number of children.

127
00:17:11,07 --> 00:17:12,63
Only the proper school authorities

128
00:17:12,63 --> 00:17:17,24
or bus supervisor are qualified to
determine where the stop will be.

129
00:17:18,72 --> 00:17:33,21
The fewer stops the bus makes the fewer
chances there are for accidents.

130
00:17:35,39 --> 00:17:38,60
Some children wonder why bus
drivers don't hand out candy

131
00:17:39,49 --> 00:17:45,22
or allow them to play tag saying. Use
their seats for travel lanes that.

132
00:17:45,24 --> 00:17:48,47
Well they're not good safety practices.

133
00:17:48,49 --> 00:17:53,64
He just says the driver has responsibilities
to the children so too the children

134
00:17:53,64 --> 00:17:58,58
have responsibilities to the driver
to conduct themselves in a safe

135
00:17:58,58 --> 00:18:05,26
and orderly manner at all. Time
is a must as Mickey soon learned.

136
00:18:07,21 --> 00:18:10,11
There is also a safety
code for orderly leaving

137
00:18:10,11 --> 00:18:16,50
or boarding a bus courtesy is the rule
of mutual respect for the individual

138
00:18:17,38 --> 00:18:20,37
and his profit.

139
00:18:23,36 --> 00:18:27,38
Here is standard safety practice for an
emergency that we hope will never happen

140
00:18:28,37 --> 00:18:32,70
but it's something they have to know
about for of an emergency ever arose

141
00:18:33,46 --> 00:18:37,28
and the front exit of the bus were
jammed the rear of emergency door

142
00:18:37,28 --> 00:18:42,42
and would provide a desirable safe exit.

143
00:18:44,04 --> 00:18:48,15
Practice makes perfect. It's only
a simulated drill in this case.

144
00:18:48,19 --> 00:18:53,80
So all the children will know what to do
when to do it. And how it must be done.

145
00:19:02,34 --> 00:19:09,33
You can't have school bus safety
without a safe school bus in

146
00:19:09,34 --> 00:19:13,47
this case the state highway patrol has
been assigned the task of inspecting all

147
00:19:13,47 --> 00:19:19,90
school buses thorough check outs
once a year are standard time slots

148
00:19:19,91 --> 00:19:39,21
periodic inspections to
maintain the safety standards.

149
00:19:42,08 --> 00:19:47,91
This is the state's way of declaring the
buses a safe as a school room getting to

150
00:19:47,91 --> 00:19:50,69
that school room is another problem.

151
00:19:50,71 --> 00:19:55,74
Distance is the determining factor for
Rural Route four hundred binaries

152
00:19:57,56 --> 00:19:59,93
buses are as necessary as textbooks.

153
00:20:00,72 --> 00:20:06,70
And they must be as safe as the school.

154
00:20:07,98 --> 00:20:08,73
The one factor

155
00:20:08,73 --> 00:20:13,90
that assures the school room safety at least
with one manufacturer as the structure

156
00:20:13,90 --> 00:20:15,47
of the bus body frame itself.

157
00:20:16,89 --> 00:20:21,63
Extra Strength double protection
provide a protective armor shells.

158
00:20:22,87 --> 00:20:26,89
You know that quality sacrifices for
price considerations are folly.

159
00:20:27,04 --> 00:20:33,79
When dealing with children
blind this buzz was

160
00:20:33,79 --> 00:20:41,33
hit by this car which
offers more protection.

161
00:20:42,08 --> 00:20:48,37
Here's another kind of protection color
safety yellow calls immediate attention to

162
00:20:48,37 --> 00:20:51,85
the most important vehicle on the road.

163
00:20:53,57 --> 00:20:57,17
At school days then Mickey wasn't
thinking of the buses color.

164
00:20:58,35 --> 00:21:00,94
He was still concerned about
the squatter's rights to

165
00:21:00,94 --> 00:21:06,52
that special seat on the buses return
trip to the garage. By this time.

166
00:21:06,80 --> 00:21:08,01
Mickey should sense

167
00:21:08,01 --> 00:21:13,36
that whatever margin of safety designers
build into a buzz a competent driver is

168
00:21:13,36 --> 00:21:14,41
the additional factor

169
00:21:14,41 --> 00:21:24,08
that helps prevent as Bill

170
00:21:24,09 --> 00:21:25,93
as to second guess the other guy

171
00:21:25,93 --> 00:21:31,76
and allow him to plenty of margin for
making mistakes. Just one of many demands.

172
00:21:32,83 --> 00:21:34,54
Of seven candidates for his job.

173
00:21:34,71 --> 00:21:38,04
Bill was the only one to meet the
state's physical and mental test.

174
00:21:38,58 --> 00:21:43,84
He qualified for the highest rated
driver's license in his state a job

175
00:21:43,84 --> 00:21:55,24
that carries a full time responsibility.

176
00:21:57,77 --> 00:21:59,75
Bill is a firm believer and highways.

177
00:22:00,00 --> 00:22:04,64
Courtesy he feels all professional
drivers should be aware of the problems

178
00:22:04,64 --> 00:22:09,84
that their presence may create for other
motorists he tries at all times not to

179
